Long way I cant connect yahoo messenger using pidgin. Many article has been read but all unsuccessfully. Finally, I found the howto from http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-Yahoo-problem-in-Pidgin-114754.shtml which teach step by step to make Pidgin could online again. Thanks man.
Here is the solution:
1. Download Pidgin authentication key, Right click HERE and choose the "Save Link As..." option.
2. Go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources
Enter your password if asked. Go to the second tab, "Third-Party
Software," click on the "Add" button, and paste the line below for your Ubuntu distribution, in the "APT line" field...
Ubuntu 9.10
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
Ubuntu 9.04
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Ubuntu 8.10
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
3. Now go to the fourth tab, "Authentication," click the "Import Key File" button, navigate to the location where you've just saved the key file and double click it. You will immediately see a new entry called "A1F196A8 2009-01-20 Launchpad PPA for Pidgin Developers"
4. Click the “Close” button, then the “Reload” one and wait for the application to close!
5. Go to System -> Administration -> Update Manager
